@9to5Mac sloppy reporting, as usual.

Google has a more in depth analysis, with a lot more information on the specific versions of iOS that are affected.

TL;DR It doesn’t seem to affect 18.7.3 at least (might also not work on 18.7.2 given that CVE-2025-43520, which DarkSword uses, has been patched in .2).
